Meet Darren – Professional Mountain Biker and Your Superhost

"I’m Darren, a 42-year-old professional mountain biker with a passion for adventure and the outdoors. Born and raised in this incredible region, I’ve never strayed far because Vancouver Island truly offers some of the best outdoor experiences in North America.

As a proud father to a lively 7-year-old daughter, I stay busy building world-class mountain bike trails across the island. When I’m not riding or working on trails, I’m sharing my love for this area with guests, ensuring they have a memorable and comfortable stay.

Hosting is an extension of what I love most—connecting people with the beauty and adventure that make this area so special. Whether it’s my outdoor shower, spacious living areas, or easy access to Mount Washington’s best activities, I’m thrilled to welcome you to Bearclaw Chalet!
